K-Fed: Depression made me fat

Melancholy made him eat all the pies.

Kevin Federline has blamed his 2006 divorce from Britney Spears as a trigger for his dramatic weight gain.

The 31-year-old, former dancer opened up to Access Hollywood about his battle with depression, over-eating and famous ex-wife: “Once you get depressed, you don’t really feel like doing anything. You’re kind of discouraged about yourself and then the weight gain too, or that makes me more depressed. … I mean, it’s a combination of all of those things.

“Everybody knows what happened with me and Brit. I’m not going to say that’s the total cause of it but, I mean, just not being happy with myself was probably the main part of my depression.”

But the wannabe rapper, who is set to appear on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp in February,has worked hard to shed the pounds, regaining his confidence in the process, he added: “I think as time goes on, it keeps getting better and better and better. I mean, I’m really happy the way that my life is going right now, I really am. I think, you know, I have come a long way.”

So does this mean we can’t call him K-Fat, K-Overfed, the artist formerly known as K-Fat or beached whale, anymore?
